A tumor is inside your head, it is not visible to human eyes, only for MRIs and X Rays.

Brain tumors are generally inside the skull. Tragically, I have too much familiarity with the situation where a tumor grows for some time (several years) and then begins to push out of the skull. It is possible for a protuberance to appear in the temple or eye socket area in advanced state cases. Tumors are soft tissue and are not going to dislodge the more substantial bone in the forehead area though. A bump on the forehead area is likley a cyst of some sort.

I would think that by the time you'd have a bump on your forehead from a brain tumor, you'd have other, more upsetting symptoms. If you have a bump on your forehead, it's more likely a sebaceous (fatty) cyst or other non-life-threatening condition. Of course, the best thing to do is to GO TO A DOCTOR.

no it wouldnt b. tumors form from cells that have bundled up together to form a mass of cells that doesnt belong. a brain tumor is formed on the inside of ur skull which is bone under which u cant see unless u break it open. besides even if ur skull wasnt there u would notice cuz inside of ur skull there is room for ur brain to move so that u dont lose brain cells or become brain damaged jus from moving ur head

A tumor can be the size of a pin head. The important thing is it malignant (bad) or benign (not bad). Let your doctor order the necessary tests to determine what this "bump" is. Do it now, today, tomorrow may be too late. Don't delay.

No,if It is inside your cranium, if it is in de surface, it can be operated, if it is inside, much more difficult, I have on myself it is in my right side, nothing will show on your head surface, if you have a bump in your forehead, relax, not a tumor, but if it is, easy to operate. But you should ask a doctor, not here, that is nothing to take lightly, Do you get headaches? Any other symptoms?

a brain tumor is usually inside the skull and can take up some space where the brain should be

IF its already a small bump then you wouldn't be able to type, that is the kind of pain you would be in...so no its probably not a tumor buts its always good to get checked.

No, that's a zit. Brain tumors are usually on the inside.

I don't hink it would show through your skull??
Maybe it is a cyst? My husband has cystic acne,. he gets bumps that can grow to the size of a cherry, it will be there for weeks, (never looks like a pimple) then slowly fades away
